Copper Company Officials Boldly
Impose Censorship on Associated
Press and Keep Telegraphic News
of I. W. W. Deportations From
Outside World for Hours.
nOfdl.AS. Ariz., July 13. The
censorship imposed on Associated
Press dispatches filed here and In
Ilisheo yesterday during the deporta
tion of near .1200 niemhers ot the In
dustrial Workers of the World from
Ilisliee was directed by two officers of
the I'belps-IJodge corporation, Robert
Hea, general auditor of the corpora
tion, and It. II. stout, superintendent
of tlio Copper Queen smelter here.
These men and not an army officer,
as reported to the outside world by
the Western Union office here at the
time, were the ones who Issued the
censorship orders to the telegraph
company.
The report that the military had es
tablished the censorship was due, ac
cording to Manager Tillotson of the
local AVestern Union office, to the
fact that Mr. Stout Is generally known
captain" and to the fact that his
dress is similar to that of an army
man.
lsei us Amiy Officer,
3Tr. Tillotson told the Associated
Press after the censorship had been
removed and an investigation made
that he thought Mr. Stout was a cap
tain in the regular army and that he
was bound to obey his orders regard
ing the transmission of dispntches re
lating to the disturbance at Bisbee.
The report that the military had
imposed the censorship persisted
thruout the district unit Hate last
night when inquiries at army head
quarters brought the information that
no military censorship had been in
effect. Early today Mr. Stout admit
ted that ho had directed the censor
ship but said he had acted on instruc
tions "from the sheriff's office" at
llisbee.
Pressed as to who in tho sheriff's
office had authority to censor tele
grams. Mr. Stout was unable to desig
nate from what person he had re
ceived his instruction, but persisted
that they came from Bisbee.
Sheriff Hurry C. Wheeler went to
Columbus on the cattle train on which
tlio men were deported and had not
returned to Douglas early today.
Tho first dispatch concerning the
deportations was filed by a corre
spondent of the Associated Press in
the Western Union office at 0 o'clock
yesterday morning. It was forwarded
at once to HI Paso to he relayed to the
Associated Press offh-o at Denver, but

Clenernl Korniloff's Russian armies
which nlivndy have driven a vast

Desperate attempts may be ex-

of Eastern Oalieia, however, to pre
